A stacked bundle travels along the rollers towards the camera.<\/p>\n<p>An operator stands at the control desk with a screen and buttons. On the next station workers lift silver hollow profiles and set them level on orange supports. An operator then works the panel of the yellow control cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>The camera moves on to finished bundles stacked on orange racks: their ends are closed with yellow tape and white labels, and some bundles are still in clear film. This clip covers infeed, handling at the supports, line control and the finished-bundle racks; the film applying and bagging stations named in the original title are not in the footage.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-works\">What happens along the line<\/h2>\n<p>Times are read from the video timestamps.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Step<\/th>\n<th>What happens<\/th>\n<th>Video time<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Infeed<\/td>\n<td>A stacked bundle travels along the roller conveyor<\/td>\n<td>about 30\u201354 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Control<\/td>\n<td>An operator stands at the control desk<\/td>\n<td>about 60\u201366 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Handling<\/td>\n<td>Workers set hollow profiles on orange supports<\/td>\n<td>about 72\u2013120 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Line control<\/td>\n<td>An operator works the yellow cabinet panel<\/td>\n<td>about 126\u2013156 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Finished bundles<\/td>\n<td>Taped, labelled, partly film-covered bundles on racks<\/td>\n<td>about 162\u2013174 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Rollers carry the weight between stations, so people only guide and set the profiles.

Where hand steps such as setting profiles on supports take longer, that is where automation pays first.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"safety\">Controls and safety<\/h2>\n<p>Roller conveyors and transfer stations move heavy bundles. Set or adjust profiles only when that conveyor section is stopped, keep feet clear of rollers and supports, and run the line from the control cabinet with the stop button in reach.<\/p>\n<p>The standards that apply depend on the destination market. For CE markets, ISO 12100 sets the risk-assessment method and EN 415-10 sets general requirements for packaging machines.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"selection-checklist\">Selection checklist for an aluminum profile packing line<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Profile lengths, cross-sections and surface finish.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Bundle size, weight and number of profiles.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Protection: film, paper or bags, and end taping.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Labels: content and position.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Output per shift.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Floor space, racks and forklift access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: How many bundles per hour does the line have to make?\nA: Output \u00f7 bundle weight \u00f7 shift hours: 12 t \u00f7 500 kg \u00f7 8 h gives 3 per hour, or 20 min per bundle, in our example.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What safety steps apply at the roller conveyors?\nA: Set or adjust profiles only with that conveyor section stopped, keep feet clear of rollers and supports, and keep the stop button in reach.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Why tape and label the bundle ends?\nA: The tape holds the profiles together and the label tells the warehouse what is in the bundle.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does the video show film applying or bagging?\nA: No. This clip shows infeed, handling, the control cabinet and finished bundles.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can the line take my profiles?\nA: Send the profile lengths, cross-sections and bundle sizes and we lay out the stations.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<p>We plan your aluminum profile packing line in three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Submit your layout drawing<\/strong> with profile lengths, cross-sections and bundle sizes to <strong>info@fhopepack.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive a proposal within 48 hours<\/strong>, with protection method and station layout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book a site survey<\/strong> to check floor space, racks and output per shift.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Aluminum\/\">Aluminum profile packing solutions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/automatic-aluminum-profile-packaging-line-for-paper-packing-and-stacking\/\">Video: automatic aluminum profile packaging line for paper packing and stacking<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/aluminum-profile-bundle-tying-machines\/\">Video: aluminum profile bundle tying machines<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Machine content: FHOPE engineering team, 2026-10-04<\/li>\n<li>Pace example: our worked example, illustrative values<\/li>\n<li>Machine in action: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U54TohVKtBQ\">our video on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Standards scope: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/51528.html\">ISO 12100:2010<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nen.nl\/en\/nen-en-415-10-2014-en-191845\">EN 415-10:2014<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Last reviewed:<\/strong> 2026-10-04<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive summary Aluminum profiles scratch and dent when they are dragged and stacked by hand, and loose bundles fall apart on the truck.
